Answer 1

To add -1 3/10 and -4 2/15, we need to find a common denominator. The common denominator of 10 and 15 is 30.

-1 3/10 + (-4 2/15) becomes -13/10 + (-62/15).

To add the fractions, we need to have the same sign. Let's convert -13/10 to have the same denominator as -62/15:

-13/10 = -39/30

Now we can add the fractions:

-39/30 + (-62/15) = -39/30 - 124/30 = -163/30 = -5 13/30.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

-5 13/30
